Hanukkah

Hanukkah

Celebrate the traditional spinning tops that children play with during Hanukkah this year with festive centerpieces, gift pouches, place cards, and even a few rounds of the fast-paced, easy-to-play game.

Glittered Dreidel Centerpiece

Coat plain wooden dreidels in fine glitter for a display-worthy centerpiece.
Hold each dreidel by its handle and brush all but one side with clear-drying white glue. Sprinkle with glitter, and let dreidel rest on plain side. Once dry, glue and glitter plain side of dreidel and handle.Once dry, arrange dreidels in large glass containers.

This cloth bag is designed to hold a dreidel and counters for a game on the go. It is hand-stamped with the top's characters, their transliteration, and the action that each represents. Travelers take note: On Israeli dreidels the last charcter is pei, not shin, changing the phrase "Nes gadol hayah sham" -- "A great miracle happened there" -- to "Nes gadol hayah po" -- "A great miracle happened here."
